Today I started using mouse for only aiming

Sort of as a trial run and got used to only clicking with keyboard. I still do spins with the mouse.

I see this on the highscores a lot with K1 and K2 being used the vast majority of the time.

Should I continue this trial run or end and use the mouse for the notes that aren't streams ?

And if not yet, but eventually, when?

Thanks for your help!

Salochin uses mouse clicks for everything but streams, and uses the keyboard for streams. You could do it that way.

or you could go mouse only and stream with clicks because mouse only master race

Keyboard is easier, basically if you want the best performance possible then go with keyboard for taps.

Just use your keyboard, this guy salochin probably started playing the way he does I highly doubt he used keyboard and decided O hey I'm going to click with my mouse, If you think mouse clicks will be easier for you go ahead and do it

^This. As you move to harder maps, tapping is generally a lot easier and more comfortable than clicking given the speed of the map (not only streams, just in general).
If you like clicking more and think you'll be fine, you can go for it, but in my opinion it's better to get used to tapping with keyboard as soon as possible.

I don't get you ?

Plus I would take you more seriously if you'd use grammar.

I know of someone a lot better than me (as it stands) and he's stuck in the 1200-1300 pp range using mouse most of the time.

So I guess you may be right :)

no... any player play very well with any playstyle. All that it takes is dedication and practice. If the op practices long and hard, they can make it to the higher tiers of players using mouse only. To op: Remember, switching to keyboard or even tablet will not make you an instant god. Do what feels most comfortable to you. (or whatever you want to do for that matter)

Just have not seen many people use mouse for clicking that much in the harder difficulties which is why i asked. May stick with mouse until i start to get stuck :)

Then you will have to break the habbit of being used to clicking with your mouse

You can challenge yourself and try mouse clicking only, but that will almost be impossible to do when you do streams with just that .

If you practice long enough it's won't be that hard, as mouse only player I only get problems with streams if they are too fast and spaced, but it's not impossible.

As new maps are being designed harder and harder to challenge the players who use peripheral and keyboard, the mouse-only users are getting screwed even more.

That's like every map these days.

On a note more related to the OP's question, I think you should play whichever way gives you the most satisfaction.

I feel that mouse only compared to kb+mouse actually will make a big difference in the long run. The place where it makes the biggest difference is in streams because its hard to stay accurate with your mouse when you are bashing both buttons extremely fast while trying to keep small and accurate movements. With KK+Mouse I feel like you are able to stay accurate while being able to click really fast :) But there are still plenty of mouse only players out there that are mind-boggling good so it depends on what you want to stay dedicated to. :D
